TYPO3 Core

I guess that is a task for 6.1?

yes, maybe even later ... maybe some other core things like a real context concept in typo3 bootstrap should also be done first? this ticket is for now only here to document the need at all.

What would partially resolve this would be running manually started tasks on next cron-run. I've filed separate issue #45537 for that.

But I agree that even if called directly maybe calling the scheduler by exec() might be a good idea.

Do we have the correct syntax on how to call PHP somehow already? Or would we need a setting in the installer to (optionally) specify path and name of the php-binary? If not set we could attempt an auto-detection (let system search for "php" in the path).

If we run it via exec we'll have a proper cli-context. But if I'm right there will still be max-execution (since the calling PHP-process will die at some point). Could that be? And if so, might it be a better idea to just re-schedule the job to fire at the next regular cron-execution (intention of #45537). But we might even go both ways and have that configurable, so that if you only run via cron every 30min or so you could still do the manual invocation immediately as described here.
